The Touch Diamond might be worth the wait. You’ll get the renowned HTC TouchFLO 3D interface on the 2.76-inch touch display and don’t forget about the browser you’ll use with the pretty 640×480 screen. Opera Mobile, not Internet Explorer, is the default web window on this WinMo 6.1 device. The Touch Diamond also includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, a 3.2-megapixel camera, 256/192MB ROM & RAM, 4GB of internal storage and a microSD slot with support up to 16GB.

Why, oh why, does Verizon feel a need to gimp their phones, overprice them, and release them weeks and even months after their competitors is beyond me. I do like what they did to the interface though.
